Playmaker Ralani, another product of Farouk Khan's Stars of Africa Academy, was at one stage rated alongside May Mahlangu in Sweden. His coach at Landskrona, former Glasgow Celtic, Barcelona and Sweden legend Henrik Larsson, says Ralani has the ability to be a genuine star if he can stay fit. "He is better than what we can offer," Larsson told HD. "Surprise is good enough to play in the Netherlands and we know some teams are watching him. He could also easily play in the top league in Sweden or Norway. He's a quality player and I know we cannot keep him for long." But constant thigh injuries have hampered his progress this season and mean he has not been able to show his star quality. His substitute appearance against Osters, former club of Jabu Mahlangu, was just his fourth of the season, and only one of those starts. Meanwhile, Cheyne Fowler played for his Finnish side VPS as they won 1-0 at FC Haka. VPS are fifth in the League table after 11 matches, 10 points behind leaders HJK Helsinki, but with a game in hand.
